Discover the story about Piet Mondrian's broadway boogie woogie

Broadway Boogie Woogie was painted in 1942–1943 by Piet Mondrian. It is made with oil on canvas, using small blocks of primary colours arranged in a rhythmic grid.

Mondrian was inspired by the energy of New York City and the rhythm of boogie-woogie jazz music, which influenced the dynamic, musical feeling of the composition. The work reflects his search for harmony through structure, movement, and abstraction.

Today, the painting can be seen at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
